When someone views a snap in your Snapchat story, their username is added to a list of viewers for that photo or video. You’ll have to look at each individual snap to see its viewers, as there’s no viewer list for the entire story. Learn how to see who’s viewed snaps in your story, as well as how to control who can view your story in the future.

Steps

Method1

Seeing Who Viewed Snaps in Your Story

1

Open Snapchat. Snapchat opens to the camera screen by default. If you already had Snapchat open, there’s no need to close and open it again.

2

Tap the “Stories” button. This is the icon made of three dots at the bottom right corner of the camera screen. Once you tap this, you’ll see your story, as well as stories by people you follow.

You can also swipe left on the camera screen to view Stories.

3

Tap the ⁝ menu next to your story. A list of all snaps in the story will expand beneath. Each snap listed has an eyeball and a number next to it. The number represents how many people viewed your snap.[1]

You’ll need to check the viewers on each snap separately.

4

Tap any of your snaps. The snap will play automatically.

5

Swipe up on the snap. A translucent black menu will appear, containing a list of users who’ve viewed the snap.[2]

If many people have viewed the story, the list may not display all of their usernames. Instead, you will see the text “+ <number of usernames> more” at the bottom of the list.

The icon at the top of the screen that looks like two overlapping “send” icons displays the number of times people took screenshots of this snap.

6

Swipe down to exit. You’ll return to your snap, which will start playing again automatically. Remember, you’ll need to tap each story individually to see its viewers.

Method2

Controlling Who Can View Your Story

1

Open Snapchat. You can control who has permission to see your stories. By default, your stories are viewable only by your friends.[3]

2

Tap the Snapchat ghost icon. This icon is at the top of the camera screen. Once tapped, you’ll see your Snapchat profile.

3

Tap the gear icon. This icon is at the top right corner of your profile. This will open the Snapchat Settings.
